For an already-made quilt, it's safer to wash in Synthrapol. Synthrapol suspends unset dye particles in the water so the particles are rinsed away instead of settling into other fabrics.
Thanks for your comment. You know I bought a bottle of each: Synthrapol and Retayne. I forgot which one I used. It was Synthrapol and a bunch of color catchers. Should I wash again with Retayne to set the color?
